A wedding in which a considerable amount of interest was evinced was celebrated in the Baptist Church Lower Barrington, on the evening of June 18. The Rev. W Heaven was the officiating minister, and the pretty little bridal party stood under an archway, a wedding bell, with the initials F.R. and C. C. on either side. The contracting parties were Frances Maud, fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Reeves, and Clarence Lewis, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Cocker of "Bellevue". The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a handsome dress of white silk crepe cloth, the draped skirt being daintily relieved with pink. The bodice had a white net front. showing touches of pink, as did the sailor collar, outlined with tiny pink beads. A white satin sash, with bow, and the usual bridal veil, sure mounted by a spray of orange blossom and another spray tucked into the waistband, completed a very pretty, costume. The bride carried a sheaf of white chrysanthemums and asparagus fern.
There were two bridesmaids- Miss Ruby Reeves (the bride's sister), Miss Minna Cocker (the bridegroom's sister), in white silk. Both wore pale blue silk Egyptian veils, and the bride-groom's gifts, pretty gold brooches, and carried posies of chrysanthemums and ferns. Little Joan Morey (the bridegroom's niece) was maid of honour. She wore a white silk dress, and presented by Mrs. A. Mather (Devonport). Mr. Leslie Reeves was best man and Mr. W. Scott groomsman. As the bride entered the church Miss Scott left the church . Miss Watt played the "Wedding March". On leaving the church the young couple were greeted with a perfect storm of rice and confetti. Several telegrams of congratulation were received, and the happy pair were the recipients of numerous wedding gifts, among them several handsome cheques. Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Cocker motored to Ulverstone on the first stage of their honeymoon. Mrs. Cocker travelled in a grey tagel hat, swathed with gold powdered tulle, and a handsome grey travelling coat, the bridegroom's gift. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a travelling rug.
